The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on telework and short sickness absences among Finnish knowledge workers
Telework has become a central way of working among Finnish knowledge workers since the COVID-19 pandemic, while shortSA has remained at a low level. A higher number of weekly teleworking days may be linked to a higher likelihood of short SA, indicating that workplaces should pay special attention to their employees' wellbeing and health.
